Dapi Sauerkraut Cultural Museum Introduction
The unique salty and sour aroma of Dapi! Dapi's sauerkraut is recognized as the best in Taiwan, as it is made solely with salt and no other seasonings, boasting the largest planting area and yield. The Sauerkraut Culture Hall introduces the history and cultural characteristics of Dapi's sauerkraut, hosting a distinctive sauerkraut festival every winter. The culture hall plans to collect data on representative local crops, mainly focusing on mustard greens (the main ingredient for pickled sauerkraut), complemented by orchids, rice, and other crops. It showcases various farming tools and equipment used during agricultural operations. Collaborating with village offices and community development committees, efforts are underway to organize local historical and cultural data related to Dapi and establish an exhibition area. At the same time, a committee is being formed to train volunteers and guides, aiming to promote the cultural industry of the sauerkraut hall and ensure its sustainable operation. The Sauerkraut Cultural Hall is a sensory experience center dedicated to aroma. The hall's physical displays allow visitors to personally experience the distinct smells at every stage of sauerkraut production. The exhibition themes and audio-visual equipment all revolve around Dapi, making it a cultural hall truly tailored for marketing local specialties. Each year, the "Sauerkraut Cultural Festival" is held, providing both adults and children the opportunity to enjoy the fun of making sauerkraut.
